Woodson propo to Winston-Sale By ROBIN BARKSDALE Chfontcte Staff Writer ? A national authority on housing addressed members of the local community recently and said Winston-Salem is ripe for an innovative new housing program. Robert L. Woodson, president of the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, outlined the program at a seminar held Friday, Oct. 26, at the Winston Lake Family YMCA.
